I Herewith Copies of my Petition in the County of Middlesex and Commonwealth of Massachusetts Testify and say that I was appointed Guardian to Michael Keagles of Middlesex aforesaid May 7 th 1805 and have continued to be his Guardian from that time to the present. That on the 15 th day of May 1827 I settled my Guardianship account with the Judge of Probate the same first having been approved by the Overseers of the Poor of said Town of Middlesex at which settlement there was found due to me a balance of Three hundred and thirty four dollars and forty one cents - at which time I was authorized by said Judge to sell so much of the real estate as would raise the sum of $334.41 for the payment of his just debts and $30. more for incidental char- ges making in the whole $364.41. On the twen- ty seventh of May last I sold so much as would raise said sum. There remains unsold a wood lot containing about ten acres which is not worth more than $100 and some  some of  land next to the house  some The said Keagles has for the last twenty months been wholly unable to labor and for some  some confined to his bed. Since the settlement of my Guardianship account May 15 th 1827 the said Keagles has rec d articles from a groce- ry store to the amount of $29.26 meat of J. Pea- body $10.25 and house rent of John Wait $8.20 mak- ing in the whole $47.71. The said Keagles exp ds nothing but what is necessary for the support of himself and wife. I am confident that the said Keagles property will all necessarily be expen- ded in the course of seven months and he will then from necessity go to Poor house the only means of support unless he receives the assistance of his family. The amount of the sales of the land applied to the payment of the said Keagles debts which were for necessaries in his family in small sums to a variety of persons - I have carefully examined the declaration of Michael Keagles of this date and so far as relates to his prop- erty is true and further say not Malden Jan. 7 th 1828 Isaiah Paker
